!!! note
    FastAPI will know that the value of `q` is not required because of the default value `= None`.

    The `Union` in `Union[str, None]` will allow your editor to give you better support and detect errors.

## Additional validation

We are going to enforce that even though `q` is optional, whenever it is provided, **its length doesn't exceed 50 characters**.

### Import `Query` and `Annotated`

All the same process that applied for path parameters also applies for query parameters:

* Editor support (obviously)
* Data <abbr title="converting the string that comes from an HTTP request into Python data">"parsing"</abbr>
* Data validation
* Automatic documentation

## Defaults

Toutes les fonctionnalités qui s'appliquent aux paramètres de chemin s'appliquent aussi aux paramètres de requête :

* Support de l'éditeur : vérification d'erreurs, auto-complétion, etc.
* <abbr title="conversion de la chaîne de caractères venant de la requête HTTP en données Python">"Parsing"</abbr> de données.
* Validation de données.

Pydantic unterstützt das Lesen dieser Dateitypen mithilfe einer externen Bibliothek. Weitere Informationen finden Sie unter <a href="https://docs.pydantic.dev/latest/concepts/pydantic_settings/#dotenv-env-support" class="external-link" target="_blank">Pydantic Settings: Dotenv (.env) support</a>.

!!! tip "Tipp"
    Damit das funktioniert, müssen Sie `pip install python-dotenv` ausführen.

### Die `.env`-Datei

Sie könnten eine `.env`-Datei haben, mit:

* `int`
* `float`
* `str`
* `bool`

But you can also use more complex data types.

And you will still have the same features as seen up to now:

* Great editor support.
* Data conversion from incoming requests.
* Data conversion for response data.
* Data validation.
* Automatic annotation and documentation.

## Other data types

    But a dotenv file doesn't really have to have that exact filename.

Pydantic has support for reading from these types of files using an external library. You can read more at <a href="https://docs.pydantic.dev/latest/concepts/pydantic_settings/#dotenv-env-support" class="external-link" target="_blank">Pydantic Settings: Dotenv (.env) support</a>.

!!! tip
    For this to work, you need to `pip install python-dotenv`.
